The Development of Coal Mine Methane Utilization Infrastructure within the Framework of the Concept “Coal-Energy-Information”

The operation of coal mines is intricately linked with emitting a large quantity mine methane, and in most cases, this methane releases into the atmosphere. In total, according to statistics, mining enterprises emit 8% anthropogenic determining contribution greenhouse gas emissions amount 17%. There are various means for utilization. study, concept “Coal-Energy-Information” proposed. This implies both construction data processing centers on industrial sites usage methane. Coal can be used as primary energy source supply center consumers well necessary resources (electricity, heat, cooling). Within framework proposed concept, three options utilization considered. first option use genset electrical thermal generation (cogeneration) their constructed consumers’ power supply. second absorption refrigerator (with direct burning) cooling IT equipment centers. last one (trigeneration) centers’ supplies conclusion, it noted that closely correlated program development industry Russia period up 2035, since allows creating base implementation innovative technologies based digital platforms ensure technology without constant presence personnel underground facilities.
